When spring and summer embrace Bornholm, golden rapeseed fields ripple in the wind beneath a clear blue sky. The scent of blooming rapeseed fills the air as bees buzz between the blossoms.
Amidst this landscape lies Lehnsgaard – one of Bornholm’s oldest farms and the birthplace of the rapeseed germ oil adventure. Located between Østerlars and Gudhjem with a view of the Baltic Sea, the farm holds centuries of history. Today, Lehnsgaard is among Europe’s leading producers of rapeseed germ oil, with a strong focus on sustainability.
From the first green shoots of spring to the rippling summer fields, the journey of the rapeseed is closely followed. At Lehnsgaard, farmers walk through the yellow flower gardens, let their hands glide over the stems, and ensure the plants are thriving. Only the finest seeds are harvested and gently pressed to preserve the germ. Nothing goes to waste – by-products are reused, and in close cooperation with local farmers, an oil is created where quality and responsibility go hand in hand.
Lehnsgaard’s rapeseed germ oil adds a subtle touch to both simple and complex dishes. A hint of lemon oil lifts fresh salads, while truffle oil adds depth to marinades and grilled vegetables. The different variants invite culinary experimentation and highlight the oil’s role in Nordic cuisine.
In addition to oil, Lehnsgaard also produces mustard made from locally grown mustard seeds, seasoned with dark beer following traditional recipes. From classic to spicy, it adds a unique twist to everyday dishes and festive meals alike.
At Lehnsgaard, there is a special care in the process of extracting rapeseed germ oil – a process that makes a noticeable difference in the kitchen. By gently removing the husk from each seed, the germ – the innermost and most flavorful part – is preserved. This gentle method results in a mild oil with a nutty taste and silky texture that not only enhances the flavor of your dishes but also supports their structure.
